Ah, gotcha. Not sure this is more intuitive than the other way, but if it's common practice then so be it :)
Thanks!

    You still want to drupal_add_js(),   but instead of one call you want two.

    The first is to add your mymodule.js

    The second is to do something like

  $settings = array(
    'MyModule' => array(
        'value1' => 'some value',
        'value2' => 'some other value'
     )
  );

  drupal_add_js( $settings, 'setting' );

  You also need to modify mymodule.js to use the values something like

        var settings = Drupal.settings.MyModule;
        // Now you can use
       // settings.value1 and settings.value2

   (of course you need to change MyModule to your actual module name and I would suggest more meaningful names than value1 and value2)

Nothing confuses me faster than mixing php and js (and especially escaping the quotes). In this case, my confusion is the concept and not the gobblygook.


I have a module invoking hook_block, and a function that creates and returns the block content. In this function I invoke drupal_add_js to gather the contents of ./mymodule.js


So far so good. However, the js needs to be dynamic...there are two function values that need to be embedded in it. I'm thinking that with this being the case, drupal_add_js might not be the way to go (back to escaping quotes), but wanted to poll first for best practice, since I'll be contributing this module.


Thanks,
